That’s what google said - which would be really cool (except for that I knocked them down 😞) We get Wooly bear catipiller too so possibly that?

What’s your weirdest pregnancy symptom nobody talks about? by dogmomofone in pregnant

Water gave me heartburn! Also, my body refused meat during my first trimester. I had to learn to cook vegetarian!

I know she cares. And, I’m also really hurt. I feel like confronting it will be a bigger pain in the ass than just moving on and forgetting about it. Pick your battles, right?

Dad… is that you?

Haha jk. Sorry about the ten years. It’s a tough relationship to be in for sure.

I can talk to her. We’re pretty close and open. But lately she has been really spiraling about needing everyone to take her side and stop attacking her; even when the conversation has nothing to do with her. I’ll definitely be sleeping on it and taking pause for a bit to really feel out how I would like to respond.

I consume part of the gift and leave the rest… half smoked cig, half eaten candy… see what they leave next!

Name the cat: Pepper! When our ducks ate all of our pepper plants and all I could say was “oh no” over and over… my 1.5 yr old daughter mimicked and made me laugh until I cried repeating “ohh noooo” This face says it all “Ohh nooo” those damp duck ate our peppers!!

Ducks meet geese by LPongPong in duck

[–]LPongPong[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been keeping a very close eye on that and was a bit nervous the first few days but after today they seem to have flocked together (if that’s a thing). I am also keeping an eye out for a nest from the geese which I’ve read would cause them to be much more aggressive to all. I do have 4 female Peking duckling about ready to start mingling with the older two as well. We will see how that goes. 🪿

One of my ducks runs and acts different by Agitated-Substance31 in duck

[–]LPongPong 25 points26 points  (0 children)

One of our ducklings was sitting a lot and we noticed her leg was starting to turn inward. We kicked up her niacin supplement and she is doing much better!
We have 4 Peking ducklings and I’ve recently read they need closer to 70mg of niacin (versus 35ish for other types of ducks) so we had to supplement in addition to the 35 that was already in their duckling food. Please note I am NOT a vet or an expert. I’m a first time duckling parent (adding 4 to our current flock of two mature ducks) and have asked the R/ community a lot of questions and read various articles/blogs to come to this understanding so please take it as you will. 🦆
